68.5: Internet
Making the Internet Family-Friendly. Other Information:
Millions of Americans suffer from problem or pathological gambling that can destroy families. We support the prohibition of
gambling over the Internet and call for reversal of the Justice Department’s decision distorting the formerly accepted meaning
of the Wire Act that could open the door to Internet betting. The Internet must be made safe for children. We call on service
providers to exercise due care to ensure that the Internet cannot become a safe haven for predators while respecting First
Amendment rights. We congratulate the social networking sites that bar known sex offenders from participation. We urge active
prosecution against child pornography, which is closely linked to the horrors of human trafficking. Current laws on all forms
of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.
